This is still an issue for me on Ubuntu 18.04. Can mount iPhone 5 via Nautilus but it doesn't show on Rhythmbox or Banshee.

Status in libimobiledevice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Action 1: Plug an iPhone 4 to a just booted up Ubuntu 16.04 workstation. Result 1: 2 iPhone connections appear in Nautilus. 1st connect is mount via gphoto2, where access is limited to viewing and copying photos and videos. The 2nd connection that is mounted via afc fail to work, hence other folders in iPhone are not accessible. Action 2: Unplugged and re-plugged iPhone 4 to the workstation. Result 2: iPhone 4 does not reappear in Nautilus at all. No iPhone mount point appear. Checks and Remedy used: 1. "ideviceinfo" and lsusb command show iPhone 4 is connected. 2. "idevicepair validate" command shows "SUCCESS: Validated pairing with device [UDID]" 3. After running "ifuse /media/iPhone" command, iPhone 4 reappears in Nautilus as mounted in /media/iPhone. Furthermore, all folders of iPhone 4 appears and are accessible. I believe the 1st mounting of iPhone 4 on Nautilus is due to the "gvfs-backends" package. W/o it, auto detection/connection of iPhone 4 would not occur and appear in Nautilus. However, the afc mount failed to work The 2nd mounting is caused by ifuse. This works perfectly but requires manual mounting and unmounting. Questions: 1. How to overcome issues/failures mentioned in Result 1 & 2? 2. Ideally, i would like the automatic detection-connection between Ubuntu and iPhone to work. If not, is there a way to automate connection via ifuse?
